Project Description
An unfunded portfolio risk sharing facility (the "Project") in the total amount of EUR 15 million to support up to EUR 30 million of new sub-loans (the "Covered Portfolio") originated by EBRD's existing partner bank UKRSIBBANK JSC ("UKRSIBBANK").
The Project will include three sub-limits within the Covered Portfolio of: (i) EUR 21 million under the Resilience and Livelihoods Guarantee product (assigned with OpID 56197); (ii) EUR 3 million under the EBRD's Energy Security Support Facility (assigned with OpID 56198) and (iii) EUR 6 million under the EU4Business-EBRD Credit Line with Incentives (assigned with OpID 56199).
Under the Energy Security Support Facility ("ESSF"), a programme under the Resilience and Livelihood Framework, sub-loans will finance energy generation, energy storage and energy efficiency sub-projects, including GET-eligible sub-projects (70% of the sub-limit) to Ukrainian residential borrowers (homeowners, homeowners' associations). Technical assistance under ESSF will strengthen the capacity of UKRSIBBANK and its sub-borrowers to implement the facility in a streamlined manner, while adhering to the EBRD eligibility criteria. Eligible residential sub-borrowers will also receive grant support in the form of investment incentives upon the completion of their eligible investment projects.
Under the EU4Business-EBRD Credit Line with Incentives, sub-loans will enable financing of long- term capital investments of MSMEs to upgrade their technologies and equipment to EU standards, including investments in sustainable and green technologies (at least 70% of the sub-limit), thereby enhancing the competitiveness of businesses. Eligible sub-borrowers will receive technical assistance funded by the EU and grant support in the form of investment incentives upon the completion of their investment projects.
